Torie nodded. "I will be here." She paused. "Can I ask you another question? Why is everyone so...upset with Kevin? I mean, all he is doing is making me feel again."

Being single doesn't make you weak, it means that you are strong enough to be on your own; Being alone could be a good thing, because there is no drama involved in your life, no pain, and free to do what ever you want. Life is too short to be chasing those who aren't even worth fighting for, you are worth more than that.
